rails--rails/railties/CHANGELOG.md

• The application generator writes a new file config/spring.rb, which tells Spring to watch additional common files.

  Xavier Noria

• The tasks in the rails task namespace is deprecated in favor of app namespace. (e.g. rails:update and rails:template tasks is renamed to app:update and app:template.)

  Ryo Hashimoto

• Enable HSTS with IncludeSudomains header for new applications.

  Egor Homakov, Prathamesh Sonpatki

Rails 5.0.0.beta3 (February 24, 2016)

• Alias rake with rails_command in the Rails Application Templates API following Rails 5 convention of preferring "rails" to "rake" to run tasks.

  claudiob

• Generate applications with an option to log to STDOUT in production using the environment variable RAILS_LOG_TO_STDOUT.

  Richard Schneeman

• Change fail fast of bin/rails test interrupts run on error.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• The application generator supports --skip-listen to opt-out of features that depend on the listen gem. As of this writing they are the evented file system monitor and the async plugin for spring.

• The Gemfiles of new applications include spring-watcher-listen on Linux and Mac OS X (unless --skip-spring).

  Xavier Noria

• New applications are generated with the evented file system monitor enabled on Linux and Mac OS X.

  Xavier Noria

• Add dummy files for apple-touch-icon.png and apple-touch-icon.png. GH#23427

  Alexey Zabelin

Rails 5.0.0.beta2 (February 01, 2016)

• Add after_bundle callbacks in Rails plugin templates. Useful for allowing templates to perform actions that are dependent upon bundle install.

  Ryan Manuel

• Bring back TEST= env for rake test task.

  Yves Senn

• Specify log file names or all logs to clear rake log:clear

  Specify which logs to clear when using the rake log:clear task, e.g. rake log:clear LOGS=test,staging

  Clear all logs from log/*.log e.g. rake log:clear LOGS=all

  By default rake log:clear clears standard environment log files i.e. 'development,test,production'

  Pramod Shinde

• Fix using add_source with a block after using gem in a custom generator.

  Will Fisher

Rails 5.0.0.beta1 (December 18, 2015)

• Newly generated plugins get a README.md in Markdown.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• The generated config file for the development environment includes a new config line, commented out, showing how to enable the evented file watcher.

  Xavier Noria

• config.debug_exception_response_format configures the format used in responses when errors occur in development mode.

  Set config.debug_exception_response_format to render an HTML page with debug info (using the value :default) or render debug info preserving the response format (using the value :api).

  Jorge Bejar

• Fix setting exit status code for rake test tasks. The exit status code was not set when tests were fired with rake. Now, it is being set and it matches behavior of running tests via rails command (rails test), so no matter if rake test or rails test command is used the exit code will be set.

  Arkadiusz Fal

• Add Command infrastructure to replace rake.

  Also move rake dev:cache to new infrastructure. You'll need to use rails dev:cache to toggle development caching from now on.

  Chuck Callebs

• Allow use of minitest-rails gem with Rails test runner.

  Fixes #22455.

  Chris Kottom

• Add bin/test script to rails plugin.

  bin/test can use the same API as bin/rails test.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Make static_index part of the config.public_file_server config and call it public_file_server.index_name.

  Yuki Nishijima

• Deprecate serve_static_files in favor of public_file_server.enabled.

  Unifies the static asset options under public_file_server.

  To upgrade, replace occurrences of:

  config.serve_static_files = # false or true
  

  in your environment files, with:

  config.public_file_server.enabled = # false or true
  

  Kasper Timm Hansen

• Deprecate config.static_cache_control in favor of config.public_file_server.headers.

  To upgrade, replace occurrences of:

  config.static_cache_control = 'public, max-age=60'
  

  in your environment files, with:

  config.public_file_server.headers = {
    'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=60'
  }
  

  config.public_file_server.headers can set arbitrary headers, sent along when a response is delivered.

  Yuki Nishijima

• Route generator should be idempotent running generators several times no longer require you to cleanup routes.rb

  Thiago Pinto

• Allow passing an environment to config_for.

  Simon Eskildsen

• Allow rake:stats to account for rake tasks in lib/tasks

  Kevin Deisz

• Added javascript to update the URL on mailer previews with the currently selected email format. Reloading the page now keeps you on your selected format rather than going back to the default html version.

  James Kerr

• Add fail fast to bin/rails test

  Adding --fail-fast or -f when running tests will interrupt the run on the first failure:

  # Running:
  
  ................................................S......E
  
  ArgumentError: Wups! Bet you didn't expect this!
      test/models/bunny_test.rb:19:in `block in <class:BunnyTest>'
  
  bin/rails test test/models/bunny_test.rb:18
  
  ....................................F
  
  This failed
  
  bin/rails test test/models/bunny_test.rb:14
  
  Interrupted. Exiting...
  
  
  Finished in 0.051427s, 1808.3872 runs/s, 1769.4972 assertions/s.
  
  

  Note that any unexpected errors don't abort the run.

  Kasper Timm Hansen

• Add inline output to bin/rails test

  Any failures or errors (and skips if running in verbose mode) are output during a test run:

  # Running:
  
  .....S..........................................F
  
  This failed
  
  bin/rails test test/models/bunny_test.rb:14
  
  .................................E
  
  ArgumentError: Wups! Bet you didn't expect this!
      test/models/bunny_test.rb:19:in `block in <class:BunnyTest>'
  
  bin/rails test test/models/bunny_test.rb:18
  
  ....................
  
  Finished in 0.069708s, 1477.6019 runs/s, 1448.9106 assertions/s.
  

  Output can be deferred to after a run with the --defer-output option.

  Kasper Timm Hansen

• Fix displaying mailer previews on non local requests when config action_mailer.show_previews is set

  Wojciech Wnętrzak

• rails server will now honour the PORT environment variable

  David Cornu

• Plugins generated using rails plugin new are now generated with the version number set to 0.1.0.

  Daniel Morris

• I18n.load_path is now reloaded under development so there's no need to restart the server to make new locale files available. Also, I18n will no longer raise for deleted locale files.

  Kir Shatrov

• Add bin/update script to update development environment automatically.

  Mehmet Emin İNAÇ

• Fix STATS_DIRECTORIES already defined warning when running rake from within the top level directory of an engine that has a test app.

  Fixes #20510.

  Ersin Akinci

• Make enabling or disabling caching in development mode possible with rake dev:cache.

  Running rake dev:cache will create or remove tmp/caching-dev.txt. When this file exists config.action_controller.perform_caching will be set to true in config/environments/development.rb.

  Additionally, a server can be started with either --dev-caching or --no-dev-caching included to toggle caching on startup.

  Jussi Mertanen, Chuck Callebs

• Add a --api option in order to generate plugins that can be added inside an API application.

  Robin Dupret

• Fix NoMethodError when generating a scaffold inside a full engine.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Adding support for passing a block to the add_source action of a custom generator

  Mike Dalton, Hirofumi Wakasugi

• assert_file understands paths with special characters (eg. v0.1.4~alpha+nightly).

  Diego Carrion

• Remove ContentLength middleware from the defaults. If you want it, just add it as a middleware in your config.

  Egg McMuffin

• Make it possible to customize the executable inside rerun snippets.

  Yves Senn

• Add support for API only apps. Middleware stack was slimmed down and it has only the needed middleware for API apps & generators generates the right files, folders and configurations.

  Santiago Pastorino, Jorge Bejar

• Make generated scaffold functional tests work inside engines.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Generate a .keep file in the tmp folder by default as many scripts assume the existence of this folder and most would fail if it is absent.

  See #20299.

  Yoong Kang Lim, Sunny Juneja

• config.static_index configures directory index.html filename

  Set config.static_index to serve a static directory index file not named index. E.g. to serve main.html instead of index.html for directory requests, set config.static_index to "main".

  Eliot Sykes

• bin/setup uses built-in rake tasks (log:clear, tmp:clear).

  Mohnish Thallavajhula

• Fix mailer previews with attachments by using the mail gem's own API to locate the first part of the correct mime type.

  Fixes #14435.

  Andrew White

• Remove sqlite support from rails dbconsole.

  Andrew White

• Rename railties/bin to railties/exe to match the new Bundler executables convention.

  Islam Wazery

• Print bundle install output in rails new as soon as it's available.

  Running rails new will now print the output of bundle install as it is available, instead of waiting until all gems finish installing.

  Max Holder

• Respect pluralize_table_names when generating fixture file.

  Fixes #19519.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Add a new-line to the end of route method generated code.

  We need to add a \n, because we cannot have two routes in the same line.

  arthurnn

• Add rake initializers.

  This task prints out all defined initializers in the order they are invoked by Rails. This is helpful for debugging issues related to the initialization process.

  Naoto Kaneko

• Created rake restart task. Restarts your Rails app by touching the tmp/restart.txt.

  See #18876.

  Hyonjee Joo

• Add config/initializers/active_record_belongs_to_required_by_default.rb.

  Newly generated Rails apps have a new initializer called active_record_belongs_to_required_by_default.rb which sets the value of the configuration option config.active_record.belongs_to_required_by_default to true when ActiveRecord is not skipped.

  As a result, new Rails apps require belongs_to association on model to be valid.

  This initializer is not added when running rake rails:update, so old apps ported to Rails 5 will work without any change.

  Josef Šimánek

• delete operations in configurations are run last in order to eliminate 'No such middleware' errors when insert_before or insert_after are added after the delete operation for the middleware being deleted.

  Fixes #16433.

  Guo Xiang Tan

• Newly generated applications get a README.md in Markdown.

  Xavier Noria

• Remove the documentation tasks doc:app, doc:rails, and doc:guides.

  Xavier Noria

• Force generated routes to be inserted into config/routes.rb.

  Andrew White

• Don't remove all line endings from config/routes.rb when revoking scaffold.

  Fixes #15913.

  Andrew White

• Rename --skip-test-unit option to --skip-test in app generator

  Melanie Gilman

• Add the method_source gem to the default Gemfile for apps.

  Sean Griffin

• Drop old test locations from rake stats:

  • test/functional
  • test/unit

  Ravil Bayramgalin

• Update rake stats to correctly count declarative tests as methods in _test.rb files.

  Ravil Bayramgalin

• Remove deprecated test:all and test:all:db tasks.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated Rails::Rack::LogTailer.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated RAILS_CACHE constant.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Remove deprecated serve_static_assets configuration.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Use local variables in _form.html.erb partial generated by scaffold.

  Andrew Kozlov

• Add config/initializers/callback_terminator.rb.

  Newly generated Rails apps have a new initializer called callback_terminator.rb which sets the value of the configuration option ActiveSupport.halt_callback_chains_on_return_false to false.

  As a result, new Rails apps do not halt Active Record and Active Model callback chains when a callback returns false; only when they are explicitly halted with throw(:abort).

  The terminator is not added when running rake rails:update, so returning false will still work on old apps ported to Rails 5, displaying a deprecation warning to prompt users to update their code to the new syntax.

  claudiob

• Generated fixtures won't use the id when generated with references attributes.

  Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini

• Add --skip-action-mailer option to the app generator.

  claudiob

• Autoload any second level directories called app/*/concerns.
